THE IDEA

The SpidoSpeed is Linde Werdelin's first chronograph model, designed with strong reference to the first series of the SpidoLite, revealing yet more inspirations from the racing car industry. The SpidoSpeed Chronograph is constructed of a technically-complex fully skeletonised case and a multiple-layered dial to bring you an all round 3-dimensional experience.

“I wanted the SpidoSpeed to be a lasting 3-dimensional experience from all angles for the owner to find it interesting to look at for years to come,” Morten Linde.

THE CASE

The SpidoSpeed features brand new three-part case construction with weight reduction technology while maintaining a robust structure. The case has been treated with a black Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) coating which is 3 times harder than steel, and second only to diamond offering exceptional durability.

Perfecting the construction of the case was a two-year long and extremely challenging procedure. The skeletonised part of the case has been the most complicated and time consuming to produce due to the complexity of the shape. It takes lengthy hours of meticulous work by hand to construct and complete a case, as each requires exceptional accuracy.

THE DIAL

The dial has been constructed into two parts comprised of as many as ten layers to accentuate the 3-dimensional experience, following the same design philosophy as the case and adding depth to the watch when reading time. The ability of the eye to focus on millimetres makes the SpidoSpeed experience most interesting. The letter “R” at 4 o’clock on the hours sub-dial, stands for “The Rock” or “The Reef” and indicates the duration required to fully charge the instrument.

THE MOVEMENT

Showing through a clear sapphire crystal case back and the subdials of the SpidoSpeed is a custom-made integrated chronograph movement with a skeletonised rotor plate bearing the LW logo. This movement allows the crown and pushers to be completely aligned and to facilitate the attachment of the Linde Werdelin instruments.

THE FAMILY

The SpidoSpeed comes in a family of 7 models: Gold, Black Diamond, Rose Gold with DLC Titanium, Black Orange, Anthracite DLC, Black DLC, and Steel.

SpidoSpeed Black DLC is available worldwide in a numbered series A of 100 pieces.
